Major Dogecoin Metric Explodes
Doge is starting to become bullish in a number of metrics, which has increased investor interest. One such metric is DOGE open interest on crypto exchanges.

According to a 12 hour time frame Dogecoin graphic shared on World Of Charts X social media platform, DOGE is on the verge of breaking out of a descending triangle. This chart shows that DOGE is following an interesting price action formation consisting of lower highs and even lower lows since early April.
This descending triangle shape is a particularly strong bullish indicator for Dogecoin analysts, especially as it has started to form. after a strong bullish trend in DOGE in February and March. When this trend occurs as part of an established uptrend like this, it usually indicates corrections before the trend continues.

Despite a 182% price increase in February and March, DOGE has yet to reach $0.27 this year. The cryptocurrency peaked at $0.22 before falling and correct to $0.13, a decrease of 40%.
At the time of writing, DOGE is trading at $0.156 and may continue to rise for the rest of the month. The first step before reaching $0.3 is to break through resistance around $0.167. If DOGE can rise above $0.17 and the bulls hold this price level, it could continue to rise to $0.22 and beyond.
